A new celebrity cast of characters is up for the challenge of Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test. The season 5 contestants of the competition show were revealed by FOX on Wednesday, and they include everyone from sitcom actors to reality TV stars and A-list athletes. The 15 trainees who’ve agreed to endure some of the harshest, most grueling challenges from the playbook of the actual special forces selection process include Candace Cameron Bure (Full House), David Charvet (Baywatch), Brandi Glanville (Real Housewives of Beverly Hills), Collin Gosselin (Jon & Kate Plus 8), and Oliver Hudson (Rules of Engagement). This season, the celebrity recruits will be deployed in Malaysia to take on intense challenges in “the most hostile environment a soldier could operate in... the jungle,” according to FOX’s press release. Recruits will “adapt to uncomfortable conditions, unpredictable terrain and harsh jungle warfare tasks” as they endure challenges such as a claustrophobic, high-pressure search of an underground bunker to find crucial military weapons, a supply load retrieval while suspended 300 feet above the jungle floor, and a chemical gassing while finding coordinates of an enemy vessel. In this experiment, the celebrities try to survive demanding training exercises led by the Directing Staff (DS) Rudy Reyes, Billy Billingham, Jason “Foxy” Fox, and Jovon “Q” Quarles, an elite team of ex-special forces operatives. They will guide the recruits while testing them to see who has the guts and glory to make it to the end. Season 5 premieres Thursday, Sept. 24 at 9 p.m. ET. The recruits... |

The 90s Are All That on HGTV |
|
HGTV is assembling a slate of ’90s television stars to lead Totally ‘90s House, a new competitive home renovation series hosted by Jaleel White. Brian Austin Green, Beverley Mitchell, Jodie Sweetin, Melissa Joan Hart, Matthew Lawrence, Keshia Knight Pulliam and Joey Lawrence will star in the six-episode season that premieres on Wednesday, Aug. 26, at 9 p.m. ET/PT. The celebrities will be tasked with revamping homes that are stuck in the decade, with the winner walking away with a $25,000 donation for their chosen charity. A logline reads, “A true blast from the past, the six-episode renovation competition, hosted by actor, producer and game show host Jaleel White (Family Matters), will follow two celeb teams as they scour the country for houses stuck in the 1990s — think honey oak cabinets, sponge-painted walls and mirrored closets — with each team ultimately picking their perfect throwback in need of a major overhaul.” “Everybody loves the ‘90s again,” said White. “The fits are back, the playlists are on repeat, and kids who weren’t even born yet are binge-watching the shows we made famous. But while some things from the ‘90s are timeless… some of y’all never got the memo that the decade ended. We asked America to show us the homes still living in the past, and the response was incredible. Now it’s time for the ultimate throwback transformation. Get ready for the biggest ‘90s house battle ever.” As the contestants continue to develop their spaces, more celebrities and HGTV stars will judge their creativity, nostalgia and overall design. Brian and Mika Kleinschmidt (100 Day Dream Home), Drew Lachey (Rock the Block), Mina Starsiak Hawk (Good Bones), Paige Davis (Trading Spaces) and Jonathan Adler (Barbie Dreamhouse Challenge) will all make appearances over the six-episode season. |

A Paramount Skydance shareholder has filed a derivative lawsuit against officers and directors of the company alleging breach of fiduciary duty in its pursuit of Warner Bros. Discovery, the latest in a string of legal actions seeking to derail the merger. Paramount shareholder Paul Robbins filed the suit against CEO David Ellison, his father Larry Ellison and Par’s 10-member board of directors in Delaware Chancery Court. It centers on claims of trading editorial independence for regulatory approval by the Trump administration. That includes alleged promises to overhaul CNN and settling a “frivolous” lawsuit by the president against 60 Minutes, followed by a series of moves to make the network’s news coverage more amenable to Trump. It says an alleged “illegal bribery scheme in breach of their fiduciary duties of loyalty to Paramount and otherwise in violation of bedrock Delaware corporate law” has damaged the the company’s reputation and risks potential liability in the future. Paramount is pushing back on a recently filed shareholder lawsuit, saying it “recycles allegations that have already been reported and already addressed.” “As we’ve said consistently: no commitments from either David or Larry Ellison have been made to any government body, State AG, or federal agency regarding the future of CNN or any other news property, other than the goal to deliver truth-based journalism,” said a spokesperson for the company Wednesday. “Further, as we communicated in summer 2025 regarding the Skydance-Paramount transaction: ‘As with any transaction that requires regulatory approval, Skydance executives and its representatives have had routine and customary interactions with government officials, including with the Administration, Congress, and federal regulators… throughout its history and during the review of the proposed acquisition of Paramount, Skydance has fully complied with all applicable laws, including our nation’s anti-bribery laws.’ ” The Warner Bros. Discovery transaction “stands on its own merits,” the statement adds. “Combining these two libraries and platforms gives consumers more choice, not less — greater investment in original programming, a stronger competitor to streaming rivals, and a more durable footing for journalism and storytelling alike. We remain confident in the merger’s fundamentals and will continue toward closing.” Meanwhile, the State of California et al v. Paramount Skydance Corporation et al has been reassigned to Judge Araceli Martinez-Olguin, and it appears that an initial hearing to consider a temporary restraining order on the Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery merger is still set for this Friday. Judge P. Casey Pitts was initially assigned the case, which was filed Monday in federal court in the Northern District of California by a dozen state attorneys general, led by California AG Rob Bonta. Paramount filed a motion earlier Wednesday seeking to have the judge recused from the case. The company’s attorneys argued that Pitts has an “appearance of bias” because of his prior legal work for the Writers Guild of America. The Writers Guild of America West and Writers Guild of America East filed a lawsuit seeking to block Paramount Skydance‘s proposed $111 billion takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery, alleging it violates federal antitrust law and would cause specific harm to writers. The lawsuit was filed Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. It comes a day after 12 Democratic state attorneys general also filed an antitrust lawsuit to block the merger, alleging Paramount-WBD would have anticompetitive power in theatrical and basic cable TV markets. “With fewer competitors, the merged Paramount-Warner Bros. entity would have both the incentive and the ability to lower costs by suppressing writers’ wages and reducing output. Writers will be paid less and have fewer employment opportunities,” the WGA complaint states. Asked for comment, a Paramount rep said in a statement: “A stronger Hollywood only means something if it’s stronger for the writers who power it. A combined Paramount-WBD will have the scale and resources to reverse the current trends in our industry and expand opportunities for writers, not shrink them: more development slates, more series and film greenlights, and our continued strong commitment to working with the guild’s writers across our brands.” The company’s statement continued, “Our clear incentives and pledge to release at least 30 movies a year, with full 45-day windows, continue commissioning from independent production companies, and maintain two distinct film studios reflects our commitment to preserving and boosting creative competition. Combined with our commitment to preserve our iconic brands under independent creative leadership, this will mean more jobs, more writers’ rooms, more staffed positions, and more sustained work across film and television — not less.” Despite Monday’s antitrust lawsuit by the attorneys general of California, New York and 10 other states, Paramount lawyer Jeffrey Kessler says the Warner Bros. Discovery merger can still close on time. “The plan is still to close this quarter before the end of September,” the company’s lead trial counsel told CNBC host David Faber. The segment aired before the filing of the Writers Guild of America’s additional lawsuit. “That is the goal.” Paramount is reportedly considering leaving California as the Golden State and others are said to be preparing a lawsuit over its planned $111 billion takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery. On Sunday, Semafor reported that “friends and advisers” to Paramount chief David Ellison have been urging him to consider relocating his corporate headquarters out of the state. The news comes as California and other states are “preparing to file” a lawsuit to block the merger, according to The New York Times. Citing “people familiar with the discussions,” Semafor reported that Ellison is being “pushed” to consider relocating out of state, which would also move $30 million in planned spending out of California, if Attorney General Rob Bonta sues to block the deal. The updated timeline comes as Oregon AG Dan Rayfield is seeking a court order that would delay the deal from closing for 60 days while the state reviews the David Ellison-led media giant’s records. In a statement, Rayfield’s office claimed that Paramount had previously agreed that it would not close the deal before July 16, but didn’t commit to hold off any longer after that. “We’re not going to let Paramount Skydance play hide the ball so they can rush through their massive merger,” Rayfield said. “Oregonians have a real stake in this deal – in our film industry, in our economy, in the choices they’ll have as consumers. Paramount had every opportunity to hand over records and answer a few basic questions. Instead, it is trying to run out the clock and evade scrutiny. We’re asking the court to make sure Oregonians get the answers they’re owed before this deal closes, not after.” |

Scott Bryce, As the World Turns’ original Craig Montgomery who played the cunning anti-hero across three decades, has died. He was 68. News of Bryce’s death was first announced on Sunday by his longtime friend Lucie Arnaz — the daughter of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz — who paid tribute to Bryce in a now-deleted Facebook post, per soap journalist Michael Fairman’s website. “A wonderful actor, a beautiful man and a terrific husband and father, Scott Bryce, passed tonight,” Arnaz began her post. “I am going to miss his eyes, his smile, his wit, his brain, his intelligence, his talent, his bravery, his laugh and his hugs. Dearest Jodi, dear Jackson, he’s watching over you now from a place of pure joy and will always be your guide. But I hate these goodbyes. Rest in peace you marvelous, magnificent man.” Bryce was diagnosed with stage 3 esophageal and stomach cancer in 2025. The actor underwent treatment and later assured fans that he was “on the mend.” However, Arnaz stated that the cancer returned in her post. Bryce debuted on As the World Turns in 1982 as the charming but oft self-destructive Craig Montgomery, known for his manipulative schemes and unlucky romances. He was at one point paired with Meg Ryan’s Betsy, despite her love for Frank Runyeon’s Steve Andropoulos. The plot line marked one of the show’s most infamous love triangles. Craig and Betsy eventually going their separate ways, paving the way for her to reignite her romance with Steve. Bryce would remain with the show until 1991, but returned from 1993 to 1994 and again from 2007 to 2008. During his tenure, Bryce received Daytime Emmy nominations for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series in 1986 and 1987. Bryce additionally appeared on episodes of Blue Bloods, Homeland, 30 Rock, Sex and the City, The Golden Girls, and more. His most recent acting role was on an episode of The Blacklist in 2021. In game shows, Bryce appeared on episodes of Tattletales and The $100,000 Pyramid. Bryce is survived by wife Jodi Stevens, who he wed in 2003, and their son, Jackson.

Never mind Hatfields and the McCoys. Forget the Capulets and the Montagues. The biggest Family Feud, for our money, is the game show that’s been pitting house against house for 50 years now. Family Feud premiered on July 12, 1976, as the brainchild of Mark Goodson, a game show producer behind The Price Is Right, Match Game, and Password. “The greatest challenge in the world is to invent a new game,” Goodson once explained, per The Encyclopedia of TV Game Shows. “A good game show must actively involve the viewer. A good game show seeks the simplest, sparest framework. A good game show will have the viewer talking out loud to the TV.” Goodson succeeded on all counts with Family Feud, which has run in some iteration almost continuously for half a century now. In the first-ever Family Feud episode, the Moseley family played the Abramowitzes, and the game show’s first-ever question challenged the dueling clans to name famous Georges. (In a sign of the times, the most popular survey answers to that question were inaugural U.S. President George Washington, yes, but also comedians George Burns and George Gobel, actor George Jessel, and wrestler Gorgeous George.) Family Feud debuted on ABC on July 12, 1976, and ranked as the #1 game show on daytime TV within a year. Richard Dawson, a Hogan’s Heroes actor and Match Game panelist, was the game show’s first host, though he revealed in a 2010 Television Academy interview that William Shatner was “on the leading edge” of getting the gig. Dawson went on to get a Daytime Emmy for his work. The first syndicated Family Feud premiered in primetime a little more than a year after the ABC version hit daytime TV. By September 1980, the former was running five shows a week, and it ranked as the top-rated syndicated game show from 1978 to 1984. Family Feud returned to the screen on CBS on July 4, 1988, with Ray Combs, a comedian who’d gotten a standing ovation on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson in 1986, as host. In 1992, the show expanded to an hour-long format and got the moniker Family Feud Challenge, according to Game Show Confidential. Another syndicated Family Feud, later dubbed The New Family Feud, followed just weeks after the CBS edition. Combs hosted until 1994, when producers brought back Dawson, who’d by then married previous Family Feud contestant Gretchen Johnson, as the game show’s website reports. A third syndicated version debuted in 1999, with stand-up comic Louie Anderson emceeing. Home Improvement alum Richard Karn took over hosting duties from 2002, followed by Seinfeld actor John O’Hurley in 2006, and comedian Steve Harvey in 2010. |

Feeling Lucky? |
|
Tokyo Broadcasting System (TBS), the Japanese company behind the Ninja Warrior format, and A. Smith & Co. Productions, which produces the U.S. version for NBC, have teamed up again on another competition series. The two companies are developing Dumb Luck, a series based on Japanese format Kisuke, for the U.S. They have already produced a two-hour special that aired in Japan that won its time slot before shopping the project to U.S. buyers. The series is based entirely on chance. A group of lucky contestants, who require no smarts, zero skill and absolutely no strength or stamina, are pitted against each other in rounds of luck-based obstacles where they pick their poison and pray they avoid the predetermined punishment, which could include freezing water, electric shocks and explosive flour cannons. Dumb Luck was spearheaded by TBS International, the company’s U.S. arm, which has been ramping up its efforts in the States. It recently hired Elwin de Groot, who co-created Fox music competition series The Four, as Senior Non-Fiction Development Executive. Kisuke launched in Japan in 2024, initially as a segment on its daily morning variety program Love It! before it was expanded out. The special was produced by Yoshimi Ito and Takuma Inoue with Haruhiko Yasuoka as chief director. “As it happens, Kisuke’s evolution was far from luck,” said Goshu Segawa, VP, TBS International. “We saw its universality, comedy-based nature and ability to offer something quite different in today’s market. We quickly decided that A. Smith & Co. were the ideal partners for developing Dumb Luck and believe it will win over American audiences just as Ninja Warrior has.” “We’re always looking to push boundaries in unscripted formats, and Dumb Luck does that with its fresh and wildly fun take on competition television that’s driven by the one thing no one can predict: chance,” added Eli Baldrige, EVP of Development at A. Smith & Co. Productions. “TBS and A. Smith have a longstanding track record of creating shows that connect, entertain and sustain, and we’re excited to once again partner to bring this show and its bold, comedic energy to life for U.S. audiences.” |

His family announced the “unexpected” news on Instagram early Monday morning. “It is with immense sadness that the whānau of Sam Neill share the news of his passing on Monday 13th July, in Sydney Australia,” the post began. “Sam was surrounded by family and passed with the dignity that has characterised his whole life,” the statement continued. “The loss was sudden and unexpected but blessed by the fact that Sam remained cancer free. They would like to express their deepest gratitude to the staff at St Vincent’s Private Hospital for their incredible care. More details will be shared later, but for now, on behalf of the family, we ask that you respect their privacy as they navigate this immeasurable loss.” In 2023, Neill revealed that he had been diagnosed with stage 3 angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, a form of blood cancer, the year prior. “I can’t pretend that the last year hasn’t had its dark moments,” Neill said at the time in an interview with the Guardian. “But those dark moments throw the light into sharp relief, you know, and have made me grateful for every day and immensely grateful for all my friends. Just pleased to be alive.” In a 2023 interview with Australian Story, Neill called dying “very irritating.” “But I’m not afraid of it,” he said. In April, he announced that he was cancer-free after undergoing CAR T-cell therapy, a new treatment that genetically modifies patients’ blood cells and is in clinical trials in Australia. “I’ve had a scan just now, and there is no cancer in my body. This is an extraordinary thing,” Neill told the Australian program 7NEWS. New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon remembered Neill as “one of the greats.” “He started out when there was barely a film industry in this country to speak of. For more than fifty years he took New Zealand stories to the world and his talents helped make our film industry into what it is today – one of our greatest cultural exports,” Luxon wrote on X. “His work will be watched and loved long after all of us. Our thoughts are with his family and friends tonight.” Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Neill “earned a special place in Australian hearts” after starring in “so many beloved Australian stories.” “Wry and dry, thoughtful and laconic, Sam fought illness with the same dignity, humour and conviction that gave strength to his every performance,” he wrote on X. “He will be much mourned and long remembered.” In game shows, Neill was featured on episodes of "I Literally Just Told You" and "Dancing with the Stars". Neill is survived by four children and eight grandchildren.

A 26-year-old white British man has been arrested on suspicion of murdering former MP and MEP Ann Widdecombe. The ex-Tory prisons minister was found dead at her home in Haytor on Dartmoor on Thursday after sustaining serious injuries aged 78. Devon and Cornwall Police Assistant Chief Constable Matt Longman said the 26-year-old suspect was arrested at an address in Newton Abbot on Friday. He said the case was “not being treated as terrorism” and there was “no information” at this time to suggest it was a “politically-motivated crime”. He said: “This is an extremely tragic incident. Our thoughts are very much with the family and friends of Miss Widdecombe in this very difficult time.” Police are remaining “open-minded” about the motive for the attack and it was too early to comment on whether the suspect was known to Miss Widdecombe. The former MP and Strictly Come Dancing star's agents, Cloud 9 Management, have confirmed Ann's passing. They said in a statement: "It is with great sadness that today we announce the death of The Right Honourable Ann Widdecombe, DSG. "We send our deepest condolences to Ann's family and friends." Widdecombe, who was known for her honest opinions, was Conservative MP for Maidstone in Kent for 23 years, from 1987 until 2010, and she had several ministerial positions, including Shadow Home Secretary and Minister of State for Prisons, under former Prime Minister John Major, in the 1990s. She later defected to Nigel Farage's then-Brexit Party in 2019. While she was best known as a politician, Ann became an even bigger household name in 2010 when she appeared on Strictly. She was paired with popular professional dancer Anton Du Beke, and despite regularly scoring low marks, the pair defied the odds and reached Week 10 of the program before they were eliminated. During her Strictly journey, she was infamously described as a "Dalek in drag" by then-show judge Bruno Tonioli. She even made a dancefloor comeback in 2018, for the Strictly Christmas special. As well as her Strictly stint, Ann also appeared on Celebrity Big Brother in 2018, finishing runner-up to winner Courtney Act in series 21. During the series, she was criticised over her comments regarding the Harvey Weinstein controversy. Some of Ann's other TV credits included hosting quiz show Have I Got News For You twice, in 2006 and 2007, which resulted in comedian Paul Merton dubbing her as the "queen of comedy". What's more, Ann hosted quiz show Cleverdicks, guest hosted an episode of BBC's Songs of Praise, appeared in the BBC series Celebrity Antiques Road Trip, and she starred in the new celebrity version of The Crystal Maze. Tyler is survived by her husband of 53 years, Robert Sullivan, as well as her six siblings and numerous nieces, nephews, and godchildren. She had no children. |

Randolph Mantooth, the actor best known for headlining NBC’s Emergency in the 1970s, has died. The actor behind John Roderick “Johnny” Gage on the medical drama died at age 80 in Ventura, Calif., on Thursday after battling several different cancers over the years, his brother Donald told TMZ. Mantooth played Johnny, a romantically challenged young paramedic, on every episode of Emergency across its six seasons between 1972 and 1977. He also starred in several subsequent Emergency TV movies that followed the show’s main run. Mantooth also voiced Johnny in the animated spinoff Emergency +4. Born Randy DeRoy Mantooth in Sacramento, Calif., in 1945, Mantooth studied acting at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City. He lengthened his first name to Randolph as a stage name, and earned acclaim for his performance in a production of Philadelphia, Here I Come! That play opened the door for his screen debut in a 1970 episode of Matt Lincoln, followed by a pair of eps of The Bold Ones: The Senator that same year. After appearances on shows like Night Gallery, McCloud, and Alias Smith and Jones in the early 1970s, he boarded Emergency in 1972. The popularity of Emergency — a spinoff of Adam-12, which itself was a spinoff of Dragnet — coincided with the widespread adoption of emergency medical services across the United States. Mantooth remained an advocate for emergency personnel for the rest of his career, working alongside organizations like the International Association of Firefighters and the County of Los Angeles Fire Museum Association. R Mantooth later appeared as Alex Masters on over 300 episodes of the ABC soap opera Loving between 1987 and 1995, and reprised the role in nearly 200 episodes of the spinoff The City in the 1990s. The actor had stints on several other prominent soaps, portraying Hal Munson in 35 eps of As the World Turns and playing Kirk Harmon in 11 episodes of One Life to Live in the 2000s. Mantooth also guested on shows like Charlie’s Angels, Fantasy Island, Dallas, MacGyver, Baywatch, General Hospital, ER, and Criminal Minds. His final screen performance came in the 2013 horror film Killer Holiday, and he appeared in the 2014 doc Actor? A Documentary. In game shows, Mantooth appeared on episodes of The Hollywood Squares and The Star Games. Mantooth had been married to Kristen Connors since 2002. He was previously married to Rose Parra from 1978 to 1991. Mantooth is also survived by his brother Donald, his sister Tonya.

rance Télévisions has commissioned the first international adaptation of Talpa Studios' entertainment format "The Winner Takes It All," marking a new milestone for the John de Mol-owned company as it continues to expand the global footprint of its original intellectual property. The French version will be produced by Satisfaction Group, following the show's successful debut on SBS6 in the Netherlands and its subsequent renewal for a second season. Alexandra Redde-Amiel, Head of Entertainment and Gameshows at France Télévisions, said: "The Floor has been a great success on our channels, and we're excited to introduce another proven Talpa Studios format to French audiences with The Winner Takes It All. The outstanding ratings in the Netherlands have already established the format as the country's leading talent show, and we are confident it will resonate just as strongly with our audiences." Arthur Essebag, Founder of Satisfaction Group, added: "Our collaboration with Talpa Studios continues to be a great success. We are delighted to be the first country to launch the very first international adaptation of this highly promising format." Sebastian van Barneveld, Director of Global Distribution at Talpa Studios, said: "We’re very proud to see The Winner Takes It All travel to France with such outstanding partners. The show's success in the Netherlands comes from a distinctive mix of talent, strategy and knockout suspense, with contestants constantly weighing their chances against the performer next to them. At the same time, it offers broadcasters and platforms a unique opportunity to reintroduce familiar and beloved former talent show winners, extending the value of existing talent brands while introducing a fresh, premium entertainment show." The commission follows a strong performance in its home market, where "The Winner Takes It All" became SBS6's biggest talent show launch in the past five years. The first season delivered an average 15.8% market share among viewers aged 25-59 (Live+0), significantly outperforming the broadcaster's average for the same timeslot. Five of the season's eight episodes attracted more than one million viewers, while the finale reached a peak market share of 20% (Live+0, 25-59), highlighting the format's audience appeal. "The Winner Takes It All" features 50 singers, each positioned on an individual square across a large LED floor, with every square linked to a different hit song. Contestants compete in head-to-head singing duels against neighboring rivals, with winners taking over their opponent's position while eliminated contestants leave the competition immediately. As the contest progresses, the strongest performers advance to the grand finale, where they compete for the €100,000 prize. By combining vocal performances with strategic gameplay and elimination mechanics, the format offers a new take on the traditional talent competition. |
